Rich James

I am a London-based Native UK Speaker and English as a foreign language teacher (written/spoken), voice coach, and Callan Teacher

I can adapt to you specific needs, as I have also developed my own specialised techniques (not taught elsewhere) to improve your spoken/written English quickly.

It may sound strange, but written English is NOT a spoken language. This means you cannot learn to speak English from a book (and is the main reason many students struggle to make progress with standard teaching techniques).

Using my special technique of teaching word SOUNDS/intonation, emphasis, etc (and not individual WORDS), I specialise in rapidly improving your standard British English pronunciation and diction. I achieve this by showing you how English is REALLY spoken by native English speakers (not how it is TAUGHT using standard methods).

My lessons are generally done 1-2-1 via Zoom or Skype and are undertaken in an energetic, fun and engaging style. I am happy to do the first lesson free to determine if this is the right style of teaching for you.

I am also happy to consider any written/typing work/tutoring, as I am also an academic writer, essay coach, and researcher.
